"A haven for beer lovers. The beer, poured with meticulous care in a historic building, is truly exceptional. It's a lively beer hall, bustling with noise, but it's all part of the charm. Today, I ordered the summer-only Yamagata pork cutlet. It was a generous portion, satisfying and delicious. Highly recommended. I forgot to take a picture, but it "

"The entrance to the Ginza Line exit of Ginza Station is right in front of you as you exit the ticket gate near the basement entrance of Mitsukoshi. All three beers are ¥550! Please note that you can only drink two beers per visit! The glasses are rinsed and chilled to the same temperature as the beer before pouring! This is the best way to ens"

"A sandwich shop in Ginza. It's located within a 5-minute walk from Higashi-Ginza Station. It specializes in fillet cutlet sandwiches. They're really going for a niche market. I went there on a Saturday at around 11:30 am and there were two groups of customers ahead of me. Today I had the following: ✔︎ Premium Beef Fillet Cutlet Sandwich Half (¥1"

"I visited the counter seats early in the day. They had a wide selection of wines by the glass, which was great. I didn't have much time, so I only had two glasses, a sparkling wine and a seasonal white wine recommendation. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they had smaller portions on the menu, which made it feel comfortable for solo diners"

The food was delicious, of course, and the paella seemed to be a recreation of a traditional dish from a specific region of Spain. It was absolutely delicious. There was also a sommelier (Endo-s"

"Located near the Kabuki-za Theatre in Higashi-Ginza, this izakaya (Japanese pub) is dedicated to high-quality ingredients and sake. It strikes a perfect balance between a casual izakaya and a refined Japanese restaurant. While offering a more sophisticated atmosphere than a typical izakaya, it boasts exceptional cuisine at a significantly lower pri"

"It's a small shop, so it's a bit cramped and orders take a while to arrive, so you end up drinking first. It would be great if they could list items that come out quickly on the menu. The nuts in the ham and cheese platter were really delicious, so I asked if I could order them even though they weren't on the menu, and they let me! The meat takes "

"I visited at 12:30 on a Friday after running some errands. The restaurant was full with several people waiting. I was seated at the counter after about 10 minutes. I ordered the "Recommended Lunch" for ¥1100. It included salad, borscht soup, butter rice, a main dish, and a drink (or dessert). For ¥1100 in a prime location like Ginza, I thought it w"

"I visited this restaurant for the first time around 9 pm after making a reservation. There are few places open after seeing a Kabuki performance, so I was relieved to find this one. It seemed a bit quiet, with only about 20-30% occupancy. This is one of several restaurants run by Nakamata, a shochu distillery in Ibusuki, known for its nodoguro (bla"

"The restaurant has only a counter, and the owner runs it alone. This time, I ordered a "hamburger, soba noodles, and a drink." When I asked for a recommendation for the hamburger, the owner said there wasn't anything in particular, so I chose the spicy chicken burger. The spicy chicken was delicious, but the bun was soft and mushy, like a store-bou"
